I am looking into getting some LED lights. I know the price tag is high, but if the energy cost reduction is there it might be worth it. Right now I run 2 1000wat hps for flowering, that add up to about 116 bucks a month to run 12/12 at 16¢ a kwh. (if my math serves me, that's what we pay an hour anyway.) I was wondering if anyone could answer the following questions.
1)How do LEDs compare to hps in flowering stage assuming they are the only source of light?
2)How many watts of LED would one need to be comparable to the output of one 1000w hps?
3)What is the ideal distance for LEDs when considering light lost per inch and or foot?
4)What is the difference in heat generated by an LED compared to a similar output HPS if any? (by this I mean the equivalent of one to the other, as LED use far less wattage a 1000 of each would not be a good comparison, whatever that number may be is contingent upon the answer to question number 2)
If all the answers are congruent with my desires I will most likely sell my two HPS lights and purchase LEDs.
